Has a belt or pocket clip which pivots side to side for left or
right side carry or clip covers spine so can't press blade unlock
button. I carry mine in right back pocket along outer seam for
EZ 1 hand draw, flick open, ready to cut. Haven't priced them lately
but about 2004 on eBay SE were around $10 and only saw the

Lightest weight Opie No.6, , then SAK Cadet, largest Switch-it just a tad more.
